I would say the best part about WCHS is the athletic department. They always show up and show out. My worse experience by far is the administrators, they are overly picky about clothing and the "things that don't matter".

My experiences as student was average. I did what I was supposed to do to graduate. We are the poorest county in Alabama. Wilcox Central provided me with an education to better myself with the necessary tools.

I liked the teachers. They were always willing to help and they worked with you on anything if you were willing to put in the effort. I would like there to be more things that the students could get involved with. There weren't a lot of options and the things they have were more academic than for the pleasure of fun or trying something new.
